        Parrotfish, starts out in Grady's garage while he is helping his father take Christmas decorations out of the garage for their front lawn. The rest of the book revolves around the idea of Grady coming out to his entire family and all of his friends as transgender. There are some good reactions, but there are some bad reactions as well. And one that could possibly put his life in jeapordy.
